Important Notes
Election related data are collected, reshaped, and made available by different organizations, from different sources, at different times and for different reasons.
This can all introduce discrepancies and errors in the information that is presented.
This is especially true when you mix and match data from different sources, as we do here.
And sometimes the data are made available from the source creators with errors. It’s incredibly difficult to produce an error free dataset.
So we caution you to be a critical user of data and ask questions when something seems amiss.
